Yes! It looks like we got a 09 weather cancellations in early. Snow and sub-34 degrees with the elevations changes all day is too dangerous.

So straight out of the Rider's Manual
-------------------------------------------

"If you choose not to show up and we cancel the event, you will receive a 100% credit for another NESBA event, to be used within one calendar year. Credits will be applied to your account within two weeks of the event. NESBA will ride on a wet track. However, there may be circumstances when we feel it is not safe enough to ride and cancel the event. This will be determined only on the day of the event."

Check in News from Admin for credits. Road Atl has to be better. So I am really looking forward to it. Seems like this is going to make the wait more difficult.

down the street from you

clausiam,

Dude, your like 5 miles from me :) Take a rt on Stilesboro - I'm in Barrett Greene.

The drive wasn't too bad (12noon arrival for me). I Still have to drop the RV off later today before HOA clowns come out.

No. I forgot the name of the guy I bought it from, but the owner before him was called Anthony so that's probably the Tony you know. I believe it was raced for one season and the guy I bought it from had tracked it for another year or so.

Ah cool, yeah that would be Tony then. Yeah, the bike pretty much went showroom to track for about a year before he upgraded to a 750. Great bike and well maintained.

That's funny. Glad I made it home before the snow really hit here, you must have had snow sticking to the road before you got back.

We should "car-pool" next time we're both going to Barber on the same day. I'd rather spend the money on track-days and tires than gas going to the track. The trailer I use has the aerodynamics of an 18-wheeler so I get about 13 mpg when towing the bike :eek:

Sissies?! I would have been more excited and amazed to know somebody was going out there than for it to dry up and me have been able to run the track. I mean, at about 7:30 you couldn't see the grass and the white shit (snow) was coming in sideways. Better than sitting at the house all day still. 70 degrees when we left the house south of Atlanta yesterday at 3:00. 45 in Leeds, AL at 9:00. And we all know the rest. See you guys at RA.

Sorry to here the folks that traveled a long way did not get nice weather but kudos to NESBA for calling a day that could have gotten REAL nasty. We have a hazardous hobby but sometimes it is best to not get on the bike ;)
